About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live but not too seriously. Vivre, mais pas trop sérieusement.

ABOUT ME

I like to live intensely, it means quietly and simply.
My next projects are to go back to China , to travel with my young daughter, and to go to Santiago de Compostela on foot alone in early spring.

J'aime vivre intensément c'est à dire doucement et sans fioritures.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't give me water, give me thirst
Ne me donne pas l'eau ; donne moi la soif.

The road less used is better

Le chemin le moins fréquenté est le plus beau.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a separate bedroom and a sofa in case of overbooking ! you will have internet acces, Skype , a cooking place and washing machine, a secure place for bicycles, and some tools to repare ... .I'm specialised in last minute couch surfing... but please try to arrive before midnight...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experience of couch surfing ( hosting)is so good ,that I want to go on, It's like fresh air in my home.
I have never surfed but I often slept invited at home by some people I met, I slept too outdoor, or in any places like lost shelters, tents .
I appreciate to meet travelers of any country

Mon expérience d’hôte couch surfing est si bonne que j'ai envie de continuer,c'est un grand courant d'air frais dans ma maison.
j'ai souvent dormi "chez l'habitant", dehors ou dans des cabanes perdues et dans toutes sortes d'endroits.
Je sais apprécier la compagnie des voyageurs de tous pays
